Dr. Suess Quilt finished

 I finally finished the baby quilt for my daughter's foster baby this week.  I bought a Creative Grids 15 degree wedge ruler and wanted to try it out.  I found almost enough Dr. Suess prints in my stash to make half the wedges; added a stripe and a polka dot or two and had enough.  This was a very easy quilt to make!  It came together very nicely.  I really like the idea of a round play quilt.

My husband suggested doing a 'squiggly' spiral around the quilt which was very quick and easy!

    What a fun quilt!! I LOVE the idea of a circular play quilt! I just might be inspired to whip one up. :-)

    What a fun quilt, and a great idea for using that ruler. The only thing I've ever thought to use one for would have been a Christmas tree skirt. The baby will be fascinated with it.
